The Doctor screaming crying throwing up about the Master dying because he's the last of his kind and the only immortal left to watch the stars...SIR. MY GUY. JACK HARKNESS IS RIGHT. FUCKING. THERE. Don't you remember? The immortal guy who is ALSO in love with you and that you loved in a previous life? The guy who spent the last year being tortured by the guy you're cradling in your arms? The guy who would love to travel the stars with you? The guy who can and will and did die for you? THAT GUY?
Best part of the sound of drums/ last of the time lords is the shared arc Martha and Jack have of pining hard for the doctor despite believing him to be immortal and timeless and above such things as romantic connection only to see him simp big time for the genocidal megalomaniacal sadistic bigot who made their lives hell for a year and simultaneously realise
‘Wait, seriously?!!! THAT GUY???!!! That’s the guy we’re playing second fiddle to?!’
And both of them decide ‘hmm you know what? Maybe he ain’t worth it. He really ain’t all that.’
the sound of drums is just so funny because martha's in love with the doctor, jack's in love with the doctor, and the doctor has completely ignored them both in favour of pining over his boyfriend who hates him
WAR MASTER: We've always been two sides of the same coin, and can you really imagine a universe without me? Could you live with yourself?
TENTH DOCTOR: Uh... I...
WAR MASTER: Interesting.
TENTH DOCTOR: What is?
WAR MASTER: I seem to have touched a nerve. A fresh one, too. What happens to me in our future that makes you so afraid of losing me now?
TENTH DOCTOR: Don't, just don't.
WAR MASTER: Why? Because it might violate the laws of causality?
TENTH DOCTOR: Because there are some things I cannot face, and I won't, again.
